Battles between mages are a bit different from those of other professions.

The biggest difference is that in one-on-one mage battles, there are very few high-level magic duels.

The reason is simple, because the more advanced the magic, the more complex the magic structure, and the larger the scale of the magic, both the time to build the magic structure and the time for the subsequent power to gather will be greatly extended, which leads to an increase in the cast time.

It's an iron law that is almost unchangeable.

A magician has no intention of caring about anything else during the time of casting spells, and to destroy a magician's body, level 1 magic is more than enough, so when there is no one around to protect them, magicians rarely use high-level magic.

Level 0 and level 1 magic appear most often in combat, and level 2 magic occasionally appears, but only if it is a sneak attack or a huge advantage.

At this moment, the black-robed magician was hiding in the bushes, and his body was covered with a high-level stealth technique of up to level 3.

The effect of this stealth technique is very strong, it can almost completely integrate a person into the environment, and even all kinds of spiritual light on the body can be perfectly hidden, naturally it is not Link's level 0 spiritual light detection technique that can see through it.

So, he got the advantage of attacking first in this matchup.

This is a huge advantage, and it can often directly determine the outcome of a magic duel, because taking the lead means having a chance to unleash high-level magic!

With such an opportunity, it is very likely that one blow will determine the victory!

In order not to be discovered by Link, the black-robed magician's hiding place was a little far away from him, and the distance from Link and the others was about 80 meters, which was beyond his casting distance.

At the same time, in order for the level 3 stealth technique to work, he did not bless himself with high-level defensive magic, because once the magic was blessed, a strong magical aura would appear on his body, and the level 3 stealth technique would be used in vain.

The strongest defense in the world is not those high-level defensive magic that can withstand the opponent's powerful attacks, but hides itself in a place where the opponent can't see, so, between defensive magic and stealth, the black-robed magician chose stealth without hesitation.

Because of this, he now gets a chance to unleash advanced magic.

'Do you use defensive magic or attack magic first?' The black-robed mage weighed the pros and cons of these two options in his heart, and his most powerful defensive magic was a level 3 intermediate guardian enchantment, which could defend against level 3 magic attacks with a cast time of 2.5 seconds.

In the case of the first hand, he should be able to cast a spell successfully, but the problem is that the intermediate guardian enchantment can only defend against pure elemental attacks, and the defense against entity attacks is extremely poor, but from the observation just now, the opponent's magic that can attack at a super long range has amazing penetrating power, and his guardian enchantment may not be of much use.

The next defensive magic is the mage armor, but it is a level 2 magic, and the defense against physical attacks and magic attacks is quite good, but in the face of the opponent's level 1 magic blessed with super magic skills, the black-robed magician does not have much hope for the defensive ability of this magic.

The opponent's casting speed is too fast, if he attacks desperately, the spell armor will soon collapse, and his counterattack will definitely be blocked by the desperate resistance of the loyal shield warrior beside him,

The end result should be that he dies and the other loses a follower.

Swapping one's own life for the life of one of your opponent's followers is not a good deal.

'Looks like the only option is high-level attack magic!' The black-robed magician weighed it and made a decision.

But here comes the problem again.

The other party is too far away, his pure elemental attack magic can't reach that far, if it's throwing magic, there is a chance that it will be blocked by the shield warriors around him,

'Well, if only I could get closer to the opponent, then a level 3 lightning chain should be able to paralyze the opponent. The black-robed magician felt a little pity, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was impossible, with the vigilance of the opponent, if he had come too close, he would have been exposed by now.

After thinking about it, the black-robed magician chose his best and the highest-level summoning magic he currently mastered.

Magic energy poured into the wand, the sapphire at the tip of the wand was slightly slight, and mysterious rune auras appeared in the air, and it was not until the fourth rune aura appeared that the black-robed magician stopped inputting magic energy.

Then he pointed to the ground, and in each of the four rune auras, a rune jet was shot, and these jets converged precisely in the air to form a thicker and more complex rune jet, and then this jet sank into the ground.

Then, the ground began to tremble, and finally turned into a surging mass of mud, which began to bulge until a large clod of earth nearly four meters high appeared, and finally, the dirt bag began to change rapidly.

It divided into limbs, thick muscle lines appeared on its body, and finally turned into a 4-meter-tall earth giant, and that's not all, many crystallized hard rocks appeared on its surface, especially at the joints, the rocks were especially hard and heavy, and at first glance, it looked like it was wearing a set of crystal battle armor.

This is summoning magic: the Crystal Giant.

Crystal Giant

Level 4 magic

Mana Cost: 280

Purpose: Summons a very powerful Earth Elemental Giant to fight only for you for half an hour or be destroyed.

(Note: It's powerful!) ）

This was a powerful level 4 magic, and it was also the only level 4 magic in the black-robed mage society, and after using this magic, he let out a long breath.

The structure of this magic energy is very complex, and the energy consumption is also large, it consumes more than half of the magic energy in his body at once, and it takes him 4 seconds to release this magic.

In the mountains and forests, there is such a big guy, and there are powerful magic fluctuations of level 4 magic, these are all big movements that cannot be concealed.

In fact, the moment the black-robed magician began to cast the spell, Link felt that something was wrong, but the other party was hiding in the shadows, and he couldn't find where the opponent was.

By the time he finally settled on his opponent's position, the opponent's magic had already taken shape.

'Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom' The ground trembled slightly, and a crystal giant more than 4 meters tall was striding towards them, along the way, there were trees blocking its way, and he directly smashed it with a punch, whether it was a small tree with a thick arm or a big tree more than twenty centimeters, all of them were discounted by him with a punch.

Such a terrifying power is not something that can be stopped by human power at all, maybe a warrior above level 5 can be hard-connected, but the three of Link can't, even the most powerful Ark.

Gridan shot an arrow, and he struck, for the giant had not dodged at all.

There was a 'ding' sound, and the steel arrow shot at the crystal on the surface of the giant's body with a crisp sound, and only a few crystal fragments were shot down, and then they bounced weakly to the side.

Seeing the giant rushing over, the pale-faced Ark instinctively blocked Link: "My lord, I'll stop him, you go quickly!" ”

He's ready to die in battle!

Link didn't say anything, let alone run away.

He knew the magic.

Crystal Giant, level 4 magic, looking at this, it should just be an ordinary version of magic, without applying any super magic skills, of course, this magic is still very terrifying, extremely difficult to deal with.

If he didn't have 59 free points as hole cards, the three of them would have died under the magic.

His mind raced to find a solution.

This is summoning magic, and the best countermeasure against this type of magic is dispersal.

However, this is level 4 magic, the magic structure is very stable, if there is no level 4 or above dispel technique, it is useless to use it, but level 4 or above dispel technique, even if his free points can be purchased, he does not have enough magic energy to release, and it is also useless.

So Link vetoed the dispersal plan at the first time.

Then there is only a second way, drag the summon and kill the summoner.

Link thought of a plan.

'Buy Support Magic: Giant's Force!' ’

The power of giants.

Level 3 magic

Mana Cost: 60

Purpose: Greatly increases the strength of the recipient, increasing their strength by 200% for a short period of 10 minutes.

Although this is level 3 magic, because it is a support type of magic, it consumes less magic energy relatively and only needs 60 points, and Link's magic energy is now 35 points (1 point recovered on the way), and there are 29 free points left after buying level 3 magic, and he does not hesitate to use 29 free points to buy magic energy cap.

As a result, his magic energy became 64 points, just in time to unleash the power of a giant.

The wand shone brightly, revealing a blood-red glow, the texture of which was also as thick as blood, and continued to pour into Ark's body.

Under the effect of magic, the muscles on Ark's body suddenly became bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye, he was already very strong, but at this time, his muscle lines looked almost explosive, and his skin showed a strong metallic luster.

At this time, he looks like an iron cast, which makes people think of those legendary ancient titan giants with steel and iron bones at a glance.

"Ah!!!!!h

Ark felt the power of the tumbling in his body, and couldn't help but roar loudly, and the roar continued to roll through the valley like thunder.

Two seconds later, the giant's power was blessed, and Ark's eyes glowed with magic blood, and he felt a terrifying power churning within him, a power that seemed to destroy everything.

At this moment, the crystal giant also rushed to the three of them and smashed them with a punch.

The punch was very explosive, the air was whistling, and there was a continuous popping sound, and before the punch arrived, the fierce wind had pressed the surrounding grass and trees and fell down.

"Hah!"

Ark desperately lifted his shield on top.

He himself has a level 3 peak battle qi, and he is born with great strength, and at this time, he has been blessed by magic, and his strength has increased to three times the original, and in terms of pure strength, it is enough to compare to a level 5 Terran warrior.

'Bang! There was an extremely dull thud, and the shield collided with the crystal giant's fist, and then, it was a stalemate!

Ark used all his strength, he gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his body trembled slightly, and his feet were even deeper into the mud of the mountain forest, it can be seen that it was not easy for him to block this blow, but he still blocked it after all!

That's Link's chance.
